Luis Enrique: Sergio Ramos is a chosen one

'I know the English fans will treat players as they deserve and I'm not anxious about that in the slightest'. "I'm looking forward to training tonight and I'm looking forward to playing in this unique and mythical football stadium".

The new coach's press appearances so far suggest he will carry that same edge felt by the journalist two years ago into worldwide management, and it remains to be seen whether it proves a source of unification or alienation amongst his players.

They endured a nightmare World cup campaign when they were knocked out by unfancied hosts Russian Federation after Spain coach Julen Lopetegui was sacked on the eve of the tournament.

Ramos' leadership qualities has not been the only thing to take Luis Enrique by surprise this week - he has also been astonished by his team's collective attitude. It was April 2016 and Luis Enrique was asked if he felt sorry for berating a journalist, who had been critical of Barcelona's fitness levels.

That pragmatism would be a welcome change if the World Cup is anything to go by. I am not really concerned about that. "I have all the recordings of it in case it didn't happen again".

"An example is the situation with mobile phones, for me it seems like a good idea because for half an hour when we are eating it is better to talk with our teammates but I understand those who want to have their phone with them".

De Gea, 27, has been on the receiving end of lingering backlash over his place in the side following a less than impressive World Cup campaign which included a number of high profile mistakes. "Luis Enrique will now hope to do the same thing". I have my own personal challenge in that I have been a first choice under all of the national team coaches I've played under.
